Description

"Module d'équipement de véhicule automobile" "Motor vehicle equipment module"
L'invention propose un module d'équipement de véhicule automobile.The invention provides a motor vehicle equipment module.
L'invention propose plus particulièrement un module d'équipement de véhicule automobile du type qui comporte au moins un premier et un deuxième composants qui sont destinés à être fixés sur un élément de structure du véhicule par un élément de fixation, tel qu'une vis.The invention more particularly provides a motor vehicle equipment module of the type which comprises at least first and second components which are intended to be fixed to a structural element of the vehicle by a fixing element, such as a screw. .
Les véhicules automobiles comportent généralement un ouvrant arrière dans lequel est réalisé un evidement qui est obturé par un panneau vitré. Dans certains cas, les véhicules comportent un dispositif d'essuyage du panneau vitré.Motor vehicles generally have a rear opening in which a recess is produced which is closed by a glazed panel. In some cases, vehicles have a wiping device for the glass panel.
Le dispositif d'essuyage comporte un arbre d'entraînement d'un balai d'essuyage qui est entraîné en rotation par un moteur électrique et qui est guidé en rotation par un palier qui traverse axialement vers l'extérieur la paroi de l'ouvrant arrière.The wiping device comprises a drive shaft for a wiper blade which is rotated by an electric motor and which is guided in rotation by a bearing which passes axially outward through the wall of the rear window .
Lorsque le panneau vitré est monté pivotant par rapport à l'ouvrant entre une position ouverte et une position fermée, le véhicule comporte une serrure de verrouillage de la position du panneau vitré par rapport à la partie fixe de l'ouvrant.When the glazed panel is pivotally mounted relative to the opening between an open position and a closed position, the vehicle comprises a lock for locking the position of the glazed panel relative to the fixed part of the opening.
La serrure de verrouillage est constituée d'un mécanisme comprenant un pêne qui est fixé sur la partie fixe de l'ouvrant et d'une gâche qui est fixée sur le panneau vitré de façon que, lorsque ce dernier est en position fermée, le pêne coopère avec la gâche de façon à l'immobiliser. Cela permet de verrouiller la position du panneau vitré.The locking lock is made up of a mechanism comprising a bolt which is fixed on the fixed part of the leaf and a keeper which is fixed on the glazed panel so that, when the latter is in the closed position, the bolt cooperates with the strike so as to immobilize it. This allows the position of the glass panel to be locked.
Ainsi, l'ouvrant est équipé d'un module constitué d'un dispositif d'essuyage et une serrure de verrouillage.Thus, the opening is equipped with a module consisting of a wiping device and a locking lock.
Le module d'équipement peut aussi comporter un feu d'éclairage, notamment un feu de stop, dont un élément de support peut être plaqué contre la. face arrière interne du panneau vitré. Lorsque le moteur d'entraînement est en fonctionnement, il provoque des vibrations qui sont transmises à l'élément de structure du véhicule.The equipment module can also include a lighting light, in particular a brake light, a support element of which can be pressed against the. internal rear face of the glass panel. When the drive motor is in operation, it causes vibrations which are transmitted to the structural element of the vehicle.
Les vibrations peuvent provoquer un vieillissement accéléré des éléments qui sont situés à proximité, tel que le système d'éclairage du feu de stop. Elles peuvent aussi provoquer le desserrage des éléments de fixation et d'immobilisation du dispositif d'essuyage sur l'ouvrant du véhicule, ce qui occasionne l'apparition de jeu . De façon similaire, le fonctionnement du véhicule provoque des vibrations qui sont transmises au moteur d'entraînement. Cela peut notamment provoquer un vieillissement accéléré du moteur ainsi que le desserrage des éléments de fixation et d'immobilisation du dispositif d'essuyage sur l'ouvrant du véhicule.Vibrations can cause accelerated aging of nearby components, such as the brake light system. They can also cause the fastening and immobilization elements of the wiping device to loosen on the opening of the vehicle, which causes the appearance of play. Similarly, the operation of the vehicle causes vibrations which are transmitted to the drive motor. This can in particular cause accelerated aging of the engine as well as the loosening of the fastening and immobilization elements of the wiping device on the opening of the vehicle.
De plus, elles produisent du bruit que ce qui est préjudiciable au confort des occupants du véhicule et nuit à l'image de qualité du véhicule.In addition, they produce noise that is detrimental to the comfort of the vehicle occupants and damages the quality image of the vehicle.
De façon à résoudre ces problèmes, il est connu d'interposer des éléments amortisseurs au niveau des zones de fixation du moteur d'entraînement de façon à les découpler de l'élément de structure du véhicule et ainsi d'amortir et de filtrer ces vibrations.In order to solve these problems, it is known to interpose damping elements at the attachment regions of the drive motor so as to decouple them from the structural element of the vehicle and thus dampen and filter these vibrations. .
Dans le but de simplifier la fixation du module lorsqu'il est constitué d'un dispositif d'essuyage et d'un feu de stop, il est connu que les deux composants soient fixés entre eux en vue de leur livraison et de leur fixation sur l'élément de structure.In order to simplify the fixing of the module when it consists of a wiping device and a brake light, it is known that the two components are fixed together for delivery and for fixing on the structural element.
Cependant, lorsque l'ouvrant est claqué de façon à le fermer, le moteur est soumis à un léger déplacement de l'ordre de quelques millimètres qui est dû à son inertie, et à l'élasticité des éléments amortisseurs. Le moteur entraîne alors le feu de stop dont l'élément de support est décollé de la face arrière du panneau vitré puis, lors de retour élastique du module, est à nouveau mis en contact avec le panneau vitré. Le retour élastique du module provoque alors un choc de l'élément de support du feu de stop sur le panneau vitré ce qui accélère le vieillissement du système d'éclairage et produit un bruit. Lorsque le module est constitué du dispositif d'essuyage sur lequel est fixée la serrure son déplacement dû à la fermeture du panneau vitré, peut provoquer un décalage du pêne, tel qu'il ne puisse plus coopérer avec la gâche.However, when the opening is slammed so as to close it, the motor is subjected to a slight displacement of the order of a few millimeters which is due to its inertia, and to the elasticity of the damping elements. The motor then drives the brake light, the support element of which is detached from the rear face of the glass panel and then, when the module returns elastic, is again brought into contact with the glass panel. The elastic return of the module then causes a shock from the support element of the brake light on the glass panel which accelerates the aging of the lighting system and produces a noise. When the module consists of the wiping device on which the lock is fixed, its displacement due to the closing of the glass panel, can cause an offset of the bolt, such that it can no longer cooperate with the keeper.
De plus, de manière générale le contour de l'évidemment de l'ouvrant comporte un joint qui permet d'assurer l'étanchéité de l'intérieur du véhicule lorsque le panneau vitré est fermé.In addition, generally the outline of the opening of the opening comprises a seal which makes it possible to seal the interior of the vehicle when the glazed panel is closed.
Lors de la fermeture du panneau vitré le joint est comprimé, son retour élastique est limité par la serrure. Cependant, la force élastique exercée par le joint provoque la compression des éléments amortisseurs. L'application continue et prolongée de cet effort provoque le fluage des éléments amortisseurs et par conséquent la perte de leur efficacité.When closing the glass panel the seal is compressed, its elastic return is limited by the lock. However, the elastic force exerted by the seal causes compression of the damping elements.

Dans la suite de la description, le module d'équipement du véhicule comporte à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une serrure et un dispositif d'essuyage.In the following description, the vehicle equipment module includes, by way of nonlimiting example, a lock and a wiping device.
D'autres composants tels qu'un feu de stop, un dispositif de vision arrière et/ou un feu d'éclairage de la plaque d'immatriculation, peuvent être intégrés au module sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.Other components such as a brake light, a rear vision device and / or a license plate light can be integrated into the module without departing from the scope of the invention.
De façon à faciliter la compréhension de la description une orientation avant, arrière, et supérieure, inférieure sera utilisée, à titre non limitatif, conformément à l'orientation de gauche à droite et de haut en bas de la figure 1 .In order to facilitate understanding of the description, a front, rear and upper, lower orientation will be used, without limitation, in accordance with the orientation from left to right and from top to bottom of FIG. 1.
La figure 1 représente partiellement de façon schématique un élément de structure qui est ici un ouvrant arrière ou hayon 12 qui peut être monté articulé par rapport à la structure d'un véhicule selon un axe d'orientation sensiblement horizontale.Figure 1 partially shows schematically a structural element which is here a rear opening or tailgate 12 which can be mounted articulated relative to the structure of a vehicle along a substantially horizontal orientation axis.
L'ouvrant arrière 12 comporte dans sa partie supérieure une ouverture 16 qui est obturée par une partie mobile qui est ici un panneau vitré 1 8. Le panneau vitré 18 peut être constitué d'un cadre de renfort et de fixation qui reçoit une vitre. Le cadre de renfort et de fixation permet de relier la vitre à l'ouvrant 12 du véhicule par l'intermédiaire de moyens de liaison , non représentés. Le panneau vitré 18 peut aussi être simplement constitué d'une vitre qui est reliée directement à l'ouvrant 12 du véhicule par l'intermédiaire des moyens de liaison.The rear opening 12 has in its upper part an opening 16 which is closed by a movable part which is here a glass panel 1 8. The glazed panel 18 may consist of a reinforcing and fixing frame which receives a window. The reinforcing and fixing frame makes it possible to connect the window to the opening 12 of the vehicle by means of connection means, not shown. The glazed panel 18 can also simply consist of a window which is connected directly to the opening 12 of the vehicle by means of the connecting means.
Le panneau vitré 18 est monté mobile entre une position fermée représentée en trait fort et une position ouverte représentée en trait interrompu à la figure 1.The glazed panel 18 is mounted movable between a closed position shown in strong lines and an open position shown in broken lines in FIG. 1.
L'ouvrant arrière 12 est équipé dans une zone inférieure 24 d'un module d'équipement 30 qui comporte deux composants qui sont ici par exemple, une serrure 32 et un dispositif d'essuyage 34 de la vitre du panneau vitré 18. La serrure 32 est constituée d'un mécanisme comprenant un pêne qui est agencé dans .un boîtier 36 monté sur la zone inférieure 24 de l'ouvrant arrière 12 et d'une gâche 38 qui est montée sur la face interne du panneau vitré 18.The rear opening 12 is equipped in a lower zone 24 with an equipment module 30 which comprises two components which are here for example, a lock 32 and a wiping device 34 for the glass of the glass panel 18. The lock 32 consists of a mechanism comprising a bolt which is arranged in a case 36 mounted on the lower zone 24 of the rear opening 12 and a keeper 38 which is mounted on the internal face of the glazed panel 18.
Lorsque le panneau vitré 18 est en position fermée, la gâche 38 est reçue dans une fente verticale complémentaire 40 du boîtier 36 qui débouche vers l'arrière, et elle coopère avec le pêne, propre à assurer le verrouillage de la gâche 38 dans le fond avant de la fente 40 de façon à empêcher son mouvement vers l'avant et à verrouiller la position le panneau vitré 18 en position fermée.When the glass panel 18 is in the closed position, the keeper 38 is received in a complementary vertical slot 40 of the housing 36 which opens out towards the rear, and it cooperates with the bolt, capable of ensuring the lock of the keeper 38 in the bottom before the slot 40 so as to prevent its movement forward and to lock the position of the glass panel 18 in the closed position.
Le pêne est un élément mobile entre une position de verrouillage qui permet de bloquer la gâche 38 dans le fond arrière de la fente 40, et une position d'ouverture dans laquelle la gâche 38 peut sortir librement de la fente 40 vers l'arrière de façon à permettre le pivotement du panneau vitré 18 vers sa position ouverte.The bolt is a movable element between a locking position which makes it possible to block the keeper 38 in the rear bottom of the slot 40, and an open position in which the keeper 38 can freely come out of the slot 40 towards the rear of so as to allow the glass panel 18 to pivot towards its open position.
De façon à compenser d'éventuelles dispersions des positions de la gâche et d u pêne, la gâche 30 est fixée sur le panneau vitré 18 par des moyens réglables (non représentés), c'est-à-dire par exemple par des goujons dont le diamètre est inférieur aux orifices de fixation de la gâche 38 qu'ils traversent. Ainsi, lors de la fixation du module d'équipement 30 sur l'ouvrant 12, la position de la gâche 38 est déterminée en fonction de celle du pêne.In order to compensate for possible dispersions of the positions of the strike and the bolt, the strike 30 is fixed to the glazed panel 18 by adjustable means (not shown), that is to say for example by studs whose diameter is less than the fixing holes of the keeper 38 which they pass through. Thus, during the attachment of the equipment module 30 to the opening 12, the position of the striker 38 is determined as a function of that of the bolt.
Le pêne peut être rappelé dans la position de verrouillage par des moyens élastiques tel qu'un ressort, la libération de la gâche 38 étant alors obtenue par l'actionnement d'une poignée d'ouverture qui commande le passage du pêne en position d'ouverture.The bolt can be returned to the locking position by elastic means such as a spring, the release of the keeper 38 then being obtained by actuation of an opening handle which controls the passage of the bolt in the position of opening.
Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur désire manoeuvrer le panneau vitré 18 vers sa position ouverte, il actionne la poignée d'ouverture et exerce concomitamment un effort vers l'arrière sur le panneau vitré 18. Conformément à la représentation de la figure 1 , le pêne peut être motorisé, notamment par un moteur électrique. Ainsi, le verrouillage ou la libération de la gâche 38 est obtenue par la commande d'un circuit électrique. L'ouverture du panneau résulte alors d'un effort vers l'arrière exercé sur la poignée 41. Le dispositif d'essuyage 32 est principalement constitué d'un moteur d'entraînement 42 et d'un palier arrière 44 fixés sur l'ouvrant arrière 12. Le palier arrière 44 reçoit axialement à rotation un arbre 46 d'entraînement d'un bras d'essuie-glace non représenté. Le palier arrière 44 comporte un fût axial 48 qui traverse l'ouvrant arrière 12.Thus, when the user wishes to maneuver the glass panel 18 towards its open position, he actuates the opening handle and concomitantly exerts a force towards the rear on the glass panel 18. In accordance with the representation of FIG. 1, the bolt can be motorized, in particular by an electric motor. Thus, the locking or the release of the striker 38 is obtained by the control of an electrical circuit. The opening of the panel then results from a rearward force exerted on the handle 41. The wiping device 32 mainly consists of a drive motor 42 and a rear bearing 44 fixed on the opening rear 12. The rear bearing 44 receives axially in rotation a shaft 46 for driving a wiper arm not shown. The rear bearing 44 comprises an axial shaft 48 which crosses the rear opening 12.
De façon à permettre la fixation sur l'ouvrant arrière 12, le boîtier 36 de la serrure 32 et le dispositif d'essuyage 34 comportent des premières et deuxièmes zones de fixation 50 et 52 respectivement qui consistent avantageusement en des zones planes d'orientation transversale du boîtier 36 de la serrure 32 et du dispositif d'essuyage 34 dans chacune desquelles est réalisé un orifice de fixation 56, 58 respectivement. Un module d'équipement de ce type peut comporter des éléments communs de fixation 54 qui traversent les orifices des premières et des deuxièmes zones de fixation 50 et 52 de la serrure et du dispositif d'essuyage 34. Ici le module d'équipement 30 comporte deux éléments communs de fixation 54.In order to allow attachment to the rear opening 12, the housing 36 of the lock 32 and the wiping device 34 have first and second attachment zones 50 and 52 respectively which advantageously consist of plane zones of transverse orientation of the housing 36 of the lock 32 and of the wiping device 34 in each of which a fixing orifice 56, 58 is produced respectively. An equipment module of this type may include common fixing elements 54 which pass through the orifices of the first and second fixing zones 50 and 52 of the lock and of the wiping device 34. Here the equipment module 30 comprises two common fasteners 54.
Cela permet de supprimer deux éléments de fixation. En effet, la serrure 32 comporte deux zones de fixations 50 et le dispositif d'essuyage 34 en comporte trois. La fixation du module d'équipement 30 ne nécessite que trois éléments de fixation au lieu de cinq.This removes two fasteners. Indeed, the lock 32 has two fixing zones 50 and the wiping device 34 has three. The attachment of the equipment module 30 requires only three fastening elements instead of five.
Dans la suite de description, il ne sera décrit l'assemblage que d'une première et d'une deuxième zones de fixation 50 et 52 du module d'équipement 30. Conformément à l'invention, de façon à faciliter le montage du module 30 sur l'ouvrant 12, la serrure 32 et le dispositif d'essuyage 34 sont reliés entre eux par des moyens de liaison 60 lors de la livraison du module en vue de son montage sur l'ouvrant 12. Ainsi, les deux composants 32 et 34 sont reliés et prépositionnés l'un par rapport à l'autre, ce qui facilite notamment leur stockage ainsi que les manipulations de l'opérateur.In the following description, the assembly will only be described of a first and a second attachment zones 50 and 52 of the equipment module 30. According to the invention, so as to facilitate assembly of the module 30 on the opening 12, the lock 32 and the wiping device 34 are interconnected by connecting means 60 during the delivery of the module for mounting on the opening 12. Thus, the two components 32 and 34 are connected and prepositioned with respect to each other, which in particular facilitates their storage as well as the manipulations of the operator.
Conformément aux figures 2 à 9, un élément élastique 62 est intercalé axialement entre les moyens de liaison 60 et la deuxième zone de fixation 52 du dispositif d'essuyage 34. De plus, les moyens de liaison 60 sont interposés entre l'élément commun de fixation 54 et l'ouvrant arrière 12, lors de la fixation du module 30 sur l'ouvrant 12, de façon que le boîtier 36 portant le pêne de la serrure 32 soit immobilisé par rapport à l'ouvrant 12 et que le dispositif d'essuyage 34 soit découplé mécaniquement par rapport à l'ouvrant arrière 12.In accordance with FIGS. 2 to 9, an elastic element 62 is interposed axially between the connection means 60 and the second fixing zone 52 of the wiping device 34. In addition, the connection means 60 are interposed between the common element of attachment 54 and the rear opening 12, when the module 30 is fixed on the opening 12, so that the housing 36 carrying the bolt of the lock 32 is immobilized relative to the opening 12 and that the device wiping 34 is mechanically decoupled from the rear opening 12.
Ainsi, lorsque le panneau vitré 18 est claqué en vue de sa fermeture, la gâche 38 s'engage dans la fente 40 du boîtier 36 et coopère avec le pêne. L'élément élastique 62 qui forme un amortisseur permet de découpler mécaniquement le dispositif d'essuyage 34 par rapport à la serrure 32. L'élément élastique 62 permet un mouvement relatif du dispositif d'essuyage 34 par rapport à la serrure 32. Ainsi, les vibrations qui sont provoquées notamment par le dispositif d'essuyage 34 lors de son fonctionnement et lors du claquement du panneau vitré 18 sur l'évidement 16 de l'ouvrant 12 ne sont pas transmises aux moyens de liaison 60. Elles sont amorties par l'élément élastique 62. Ainsi, l'élément élastique 62 permet de protéger l'environnement du dispositif d'essuyage 34 contre ses vibrations, ce qui augmente la durée de vie du module et limite la production de bruits.Thus, when the glass panel 18 is slammed in view of its closing, the keeper 38 engages in the slot 40 of the housing 36 and cooperates with the bolt. The elastic element 62 which forms a shock absorber makes it possible to mechanically decouple the wiping device 34 relative to the lock 32. The elastic element 62 allows relative movement of the wiping device 34 relative to the lock 32. Thus, the vibrations which are caused in particular by the wiping device 34 during its operation and during the slamming of the glazed panel 18 on the recess 16 of the opening 12 are not transmitted to the connecting means 60. They are damped by the elastic element 62. Thus, the elastic element 62 makes it possible to protect the environment of the wiping device 34 against its vibrations, which increases the service life of the module and limits the production of noise.
Dans la suite de la description, deux modes de réalisation du module d'équipement 30 vont être proposés à titre d'exemples non limitatif.In the following description, two embodiments of the equipment module 30 will be proposed by way of nonlimiting examples.
Les figures 2 à 4 représentent un premier mode de réalisation des composants du module d'équipement 30.FIGS. 2 to 4 represent a first embodiment of the components of the equipment module 30.
Les moyens de liaison 60 comportent une entretoise 64 constitué d'un tube étage qui est par exemple réalisé en métal.The connecting means 60 comprise a spacer 64 consisting of a stage tube which is for example made of metal.
Le tube étage présente un premier tronçon arrière 68 de diamètre D1 et un deuxième tronçon avant 70 de diamètre D2 supérieur à D1 .The stage tube has a first rear section 68 of diameter D1 and a second front section 70 of diameter D2 greater than D1.
L'extrémité libre avant 72 du deuxième tronçon avant 70 est pliée radialement vers l'extérieur de façon à former une collerette 74.The free front end 72 of the second front section 70 is folded radially outwards so as to form a flange 74.
L'élément élastique 62 est ici de forme tubulaire dont le diamètre intérieur correspond sensiblement au diamètre D2 du deuxième tronçon avant 70 et dont la longueur correspond à la longueur du deuxième tronçon avant 70.The elastic element 62 is here of tubular shape whose internal diameter corresponds substantially to the diameter D2 of the second front section 70 and whose length corresponds to the length of the second front section 70.
U ne rainure 76, qui est réalisée sensiblement dans un plan transversal médian de l'élément élastique 62, s'étend radialement depuis la paroi tubulaire extérieure 78 vers l'intérieur et permet de recevoir l'orifice 58 de la deuxième zone de fixation 52 du dispositif d'essuyage 34.A groove 76, which is produced substantially in a median transverse plane of the elastic element 62, extends radially from the outer tubular wall 78 inwards and allows to receive the orifice 58 of the second fixing zone 52 of the wiping device 34.
Ainsi, l'assemblage préliminaire du module 30 en vue de sa livraison consiste à enfiler l'élément élastique 62 sur le deuxième tronçon avant 70 jusqu'à ce qu'il vienne en butée axiale contre la collerette 74.Thus, the preliminary assembly of the module 30 with a view to its delivery consists in threading the elastic element 62 on the second front section 70 until it comes into axial abutment against the flange 74.
Ensuite, le premier tronçon arrière 68 est introduit dans l'orifice 56 de la première zone de fixation 50, de façon que la première zone de fixation 50 vienne en butée axiale contre l'épaulement annulaire 80 qui s'étend radialement entre le premier tronçon arrière 68 et du deuxième tronçon avant 70. Dans cette position, la première zone de fixation 50 forme une butée axiale vers l'arrière de l'élément élastique 62, et par conséquent de la deuxième zone de fixation 52 du dispositif d'essuyage 34. L'assemblage du module d'équipement 30 est terminé, conformément à la figure 3, par le sertissage de l'extrémité libre 82 du premier tronçon avant 68 sur la première zone de fixation 50.Then, the first rear section 68 is introduced into the orifice 56 of the first fixing area 50, so that the first fixing area 50 comes into axial abutment against the annular shoulder 80 which extends radially between the first section rear 68 and the second front section 70. In this position, the first fixing zone 50 forms an axial stop towards the rear of the elastic element 62, and consequently of the second fixing zone 52 of the wiping device 34 The assembly of the equipment module 30 is completed, in accordance with FIG. 3, by the crimping of the free end 82 of the first front section 68 onto the first fixing zone 50.
Le sertissage de l'extrémité libre 82 permet de réaliser une première gorge 84 qui reçoit et immobilise axialement la première zone de fixation 50 de la serrure 32 par rapport aux moyens de liaison 60.The crimping of the free end 82 makes it possible to produce a first groove 84 which receives and axially immobilizes the first fixing zone 50 of the lock 32 relative to the connection means 60.
La deuxième zone de fixation 52 du dispositif d'essuyageThe second attachment zone 52 of the wiping device
34 est maintenue par rapport aux moyens de liaison 60 par les éléments élastique 62 de découplage qui est reçu dans une deuxième gorge radiale 86 réalisée entre la collerette 74 et la première zone de fixation 50.34 is held relative to the connecting means 60 by the elastic decoupling elements 62 which is received in a second radial groove 86 produced between the flange 74 and the first fixing zone 50.
Ainsi, les moyens de liaison 60 permettent de relier la première et la deuxième zones de fixation 50 et 52 de la serrure 32 et du dispositif d'essuyage 34 en vue du montage du module 30 sur l'ouvrant 12 du véhicule.Thus, the connecting means 60 make it possible to connect the first and the second attachment zones 50 and 52 of the lock 32 and of the wiping device 34 for the purpose of mounting the module 30 on the opening 12 of the vehicle.
Lors de la fixation du module 30 sur l'ouvrant 12, un élément de fixation commun 54 tel qu'une vis 88 est introduite de l'avant vers l'arrière dans les moyens de liaison 60. Conformément à la figure 4, la queue 90 de la vis est engagée dans un taraudage 92 correspondant de l'ouvrant 12. Le vissage de la vis 88 permet de serrer la tête 94 de la vis 88 sur l'épaulement annulaire 80 de façon à fixer les moyens de liaison 60 contre l'ouvrant 12.When the module 30 is fixed to the opening panel 12, a common fixing element 54 such as a screw 88 is introduced from the front to the rear in the connection means 60. In accordance with FIG. 4, the tail 90 of the screw is engaged in a corresponding tapping 92 of the opening 12. The screwing of the screw 88 makes it possible to tighten the head 94 of the screw 88 on the annular shoulder 80 so as to fix the connecting means 60 against the opening 12.
L'élément de fixation commun 54 peut aussi être un goujon qui s'étend vers l'avant depuis l'ouvrant 12 de façon à traverser les moyens de liaison 60 et qui est associé à un écrou de fixation qui bloque axialement le module 30. Selon une variante de réalisation représentée aux figures 5 et 6, l'entretoise 64 des moyens de liaison 60 comporte un tube dans la paroi cylindrique extérieure duquel est réalisée une nervure 96 d'orientation radiale qui permet de former une butée axiale vers l'arrière pour l'élément élastique 62 et une butée axiale vers l'avant pour la première zone de fixation 50 de la serrure 32.The common fixing element 54 can also be a stud which extends forward from the opening 12 so as to pass through the connecting means 60 and which is associated with a fixing nut which axially blocks the module 30. According to an alternative embodiment shown in Figures 5 and 6, the spacer 64 of the connecting means 60 comprises a tube in the outer cylindrical wall of which is made a rib 96 of radial orientation which allows to form an axial stop towards the rear for the elastic element 62 and an axial stop towards the front for the first fixing zone 50 of the lock 32.
L'assemblage du module 30 consiste alors à enfiler l'élément élastique 62 et la première zone de fixation 50 sur le tube de part et d'autre de la nervure d'arrêt 96, puis à déformer radialement, par exemple par sertissage, les extrémités libres avant 72 et arrière 82 de façon à immobiliser l'élément élastique 62 et la première zone de fixation 50 par rapport à l'entretoise 64.The assembly of the module 30 then consists in threading the elastic element 62 and the first fixing zone 50 on the tube on either side of the stop rib 96, then in deforming radially, for example by crimping, the front 72 and rear 82 free ends so as to immobilize the elastic element 62 and the first fixing zone 50 relative to the spacer 64.
Ensuite, le module d'équipement 30 est fixé sur l'ouvrant 12 par une vis 88 qui vient en appui sur la collerette avant 74, conformément à la figure 6.Then, the equipment module 30 is fixed to the opening 12 by a screw 88 which comes to bear on the front flange 74, in accordance with FIG. 6.
Les figures 7 à 9, représentent un deuxième mode de réalisation des composants du module d'équipement 30.FIGS. 7 to 9 show a second embodiment of the components of the equipment module 30.
L'entretoise 64 comporte ici un premier et un deuxième éléments tubulaires 1 00 et 102 qui présentent chacun une jupe cylindrique 101 et 103 à l'extrémité libre axiale opposée desquelles s'étendent une collerette radiale 104 et 106 qui sont chacune destinées à former une butée axiale de la première zone de fixation 50 et de l'élément élastique 62 respectivement. Avantageusement, de façon à faciliter la réalisation des moyens de liaison 60, le premier et le deuxième éléments tubulaires 100 et 102 sont identiques. I ls peuvent être réalisés par exemple par moulage d'une matière plastique. L'entretoise 64 comporte aussi un troisième élément annulaire intermédiaire 108 qui permet, lors de l'assemblage du module d'équipement 30, de former une butée axiale commune de la première zone de fixation 50 et de l'élément élastique 62 au moyen d'une collerette 1 10 qui s'étend radialement l'extérieur. En effet, conformément à la figure 8, la première gorge radiale 84 qui reçoit la première zone de fixation 50 est délimitée axialement vers l'arrière par la collerette radiale 104 du premier élément tubulaire 100 et vers l'avant par la collerette radiale 1 10 du troisième élément intermédiaire 108. De façon similaire, la deuxième gorge 86 qui reçoit l'élément élastique 62 est délimitée axialement vers l'arrière par la collerette radiale 1 10 du troisième élément tubulaire intermédiaire 108 et vers l'avant par la collerette radiale 106 du deuxième élément tubulaire 102.The spacer 64 here comprises first and second tubular elements 1 00 and 102 which each have a cylindrical skirt 101 and 103 at the opposite axial free end of which extend a radial flange 104 and 106 which are each intended to form a axial stop of the first fixing zone 50 and of the elastic element 62 respectively. Advantageously, so as to facilitate the production of the connecting means 60, the first and second tubular elements 100 and 102 are identical. They can be produced, for example, by molding a plastic material. The spacer 64 also comprises a third intermediate annular element 108 which makes it possible, during assembly of the equipment module 30, to form a common axial stop of the first fixing zone 50 and of the elastic element 62 by means of 'a collar 1 10 which extends radially outside. In fact, in accordance with FIG. 8, the first radial groove 84 which receives the first fixing zone 50 is delimited axially towards the rear by the radial collar 104 of the first tubular element 100 and towards the front by the radial collar 1 10 of the third intermediate element 108.

102 de façon à maintenir entre eux les éléments 100 et 102 de l'entretoise 64 après leur assemblage lors de la livraison du module 30, conformément à la figure 9.102 so as to maintain between them the elements 100 and 102 of the spacer 64 after their assembly during the delivery of the module 30, in accordance with FIG. 9.
Pour ce faire, les parois cylindriques externes 1 12 et 1 14 des jupes 101 et 102 comportent des nervures annulaires 1 16 etTo do this, the external cylindrical walls 1 12 and 1 14 of the skirts 101 and 102 have annular ribs 1 16 and
1 18 respectivement qui coopèrent, lors de l'assemblage des trois éléments 100, 102, 108, avec des rainures 120 et 122 réalisées dans la paroi cylindrique interne 124 du troisième élément 108.1 18 respectively which cooperate, during the assembly of the three elements 100, 102, 108, with grooves 120 and 122 produced in the internal cylindrical wall 124 of the third element 108.
Lors de la fixation du module 30 sur l'ouvrant 12, une vis 88 est introduite de l'avant vers l'arrière dans les moyens de liaison 60. Conformément à la figure 9, la queue 90 de la vis est engagée dans un taraudage 92 correspondant de l'ouvrant 12. Le vissage de la vis 88 permet de serrer la tête 94 de la vis 88 sur la collerette 1 06 du deuxième élément 102 de façon à comprimer le premier élément 100 contre l'ouvrant 12 par l'intermédiaire du troisième élément 108. When the module 30 is fixed to the opening 12, a screw 88 is introduced from the front to the rear in the connecting means 60. According to FIG. 9, the tail 90 of the screw is engaged in a tapping 92 corresponding to the opening 12. The screwing of the screw 88 makes it possible to tighten the head 94 of the screw 88 on the flange 106 of the second element 102 so as to compress the first element 100 against the opening 12 via the third element 108.
